Arrogant Director, with no idea what the role will be in daily work. The director was very confused about the company and the interview. The gambling market needs to have a clear vision of the product and its roles.

Question 1
How can you see if a team member is a real senior?
Was handled very poorly. The hiring manager and the team do not know what or who they are looking for. Asked candidates to work on a case study without compensation and left out important information and details in the case study. Overall felt rushed and by the time I completed it, I didn’t even want to continue with the interview process.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at FanDuel (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview process was a phone call with HR, followed by a 30 minute discussion with the hiring manager, a culture fit interview with someone outside the department, and finally a presentation infront of the VP and hiring manager.
The interview with the hiring manager was spent finding out if I like sports as opposed to finding out if I have a marketing background. The interviewer ultimately said they wished I had more marketing experience. If we spent less time finding out what sports I played as a teen and more time finding out how I developed a CRM system for the company I was working for, I think it would've been more beneficial.
Next, I was given a vague prompt to show my marketing and analytical skills through a presentation. After the interview, I was told I would be given a response later in the week. The response I received was a simple email saying we went with a different candidate. I wish they called me to notify me of their decision considering I was one of the last two candidates and I provided a detailed presentation + pitch deck. It feels disrespectful to make your candidates do work and to not in turn give them the time of day to call them for a 5 minute discussion as to what I could've done differently or what sort of opportunities might be a better fit for me. If you are going to ask people to put in time to complete work, I would hope that you would reciprocate.
